Important note about your router

To avoid problems with your FiOS TV service, make sure your router is plugged in and turned on at all times. Even if you are not currently using the Internet, your router still needs be turned on so that FiOS TV can function properly.

To manually reset your router:

Unplug the power cord to your Router for 15 seconds and then plug it back into the electrical outlet.

Wait 30 seconds and then check to see if this resolves the trouble. If you still have the problem, follow the steps below to reset your Set-Top Box.

To manually reset your Set-Top Box:

Unplug the power cord to your Set-Top Box from the electrical outlet for 15 seconds and then plug it back in.

Note: Don't confuse the power cord that provides electricity to your Set-Top Box with the coaxial cable that is connected to the back of your Set-Top Box. Unplugging the coaxial cable will not reset your Set-Top Box. Since many issues can occur if your coaxial cable is not securely fastened, now would be a good time to check to ensure all connections are securely connected.

Wait for the time to appear on the front of the Set-Top Box, then power it on.

Wait several minutes while the Interactive Media Guide updates.

Check to see if this resolves the trouble. If you still have the problem, your Set-Top Box may need to be re-initialized. Contact the Fiber Solutions Customer Support for further assistance.
